Powerful

When I watched this movie it reminded me a lot of Braveheart. The locations and shooting in this film are wonderful. I love the way Mel shoots his action scenes. The story in the movie is a pretty simple one that everyone can relate to, protect your family. As you watch the movie, you really want the main character to kick butt, win, and protect his family. I love watching this kind of movie when it is done well. Mel has made this movie really well and it was a lot of fun to watch. I will say that I know how to read and it doesn't bother me to see a movie in a foreign language and read subtitles. If this turns you off, I wouldn't recommend watching this movie. The movie also is very graphic. When someone gets attacked in a battle scene they really bleed. Mel doesn't like to hold back when it comes to seeing red. I will also say don't bring the family to see this one it is for adults. One of my students saw this with his parents and he made a comment on how "gross" the film was to him.
If you can stomach a lot of blood and read well, than you will probably enjoy watching Mel's latest effort.
